MAN: Your help means a lot to us, Bruce.
BRUCE: And what you do means a lot to this city.
I wish we could do more.
Lately, things haven't been going well.
Thanks. What do you mean?
I can't prove it, but I'm positive, people are disappearing.
Transients, regulars, old faces I miss seeing.
Then a month ago, a volunteer, Dan Riley, disappeared.
I'm telling you, something's very wrong.
- You've talked to the police? - Of course.
But the police have their hands full.
And homeless people disappearing is not big news.

(CHAIN CLINKS)
Oh, boy.
- Hey, stranger. - You okay?
I think so. Where am I?
Well, opinions differ, but we all agree. It ain't Miami.
Don't mind him. Every chain gang has a comedian.
I'm Dan Riley, and he's Salvo Smith.
So, what's your name, pal?
I don't know.
(SNARLING)
What is this?
If it's moving, it's a rat. If not, it's a cooked rat.
Why aren't these lowlifes working?
They have to eat, sir.
I have to eat. They have to work.
From now on, they'll bring me twice the gold ore.
- Do you hear me? - Yes, sir.
We recruited some new men.
You bums better start busting butt
or you'll all end up like him.
(GASPS)
No! Please!
I ain't done nothing! No! Please!
Please!
Now get to work, or you'll all roast.
Rise and shine.
It's a beautiful...
That's odd.
Only vampires loathe daylight more than Batman.
I wonder what's keeping him.
(SWITCH CLICKS)
(CLANGING)
- How you holding up? - Okay, I guess.
(GRUNTS) Remember anything yet?
I'm beginning to wonder if I ever will.
Hey, YOU Can't give up hope.
Down here it's all we've got to hang on to.
I guess you're right. So, what brought you guys here?
I was one of Gotham City's unemployed. Now I got a job. Lucky me.
I was a steamfitter at the Gotham Navy Yard.
Two nights a week, I did volunteer work at the Dock Street Rescue Mission.
One night I was getting into my car, and three guys jumped me.
I wound up here.
My family must be going out of their minds.
Rescue Mission.
(RUMBLING)
Cave-in!
(CRASHING)
(couemue)
Ah, are you okay?
Where's Salvo?
SALVO: I'm over here, taking five.
(couemue)
Hang on, man. We'll get you out.
Take your time. It's the first break I've had all day.
Does this sort of thing happen often?
Too often.
(BEEPING)
No, I'm sorry, sir. Mr. Wayne was called out of town.
If you call back on Friday...

RILEY: Hey, you really cleaned their clocks.
You did pretty good yourself.
Well, maybe you used to be some kind of fighter.
I don't know.
I just don't know.
RILEY: My son, he's gonna be six on April 7th.
Or seven on April 6. (SIGHS)
Oh, what's it matter? I'll never see him again.
Hang on, Riley.
We'll make it.
Remember what you told me? You can't lose hope.
I can't take it anymore!
I lost my family! My family!
My family! M My family! Amlly!
(BATS SCREECHING)
Riley, you've got to pull it together. We're getting out of here.
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, right.
You're the one who's losing it.
(GRUNTS)
(BLOWS WHISTLES)
(GROANS) Stop him!
Stop him, or you'll all rot in the mines!
(BARKING)
There he is.
We got him now.
He's gone into Box Canyon.
There's no way out.

(ALFRED SCREAMING)
(RAPID BEEPING)
Whoa!
Oh! Whoa!
This must be the place. Bring us down.

Land, you bucket of bolts.

I... I... I claim this land for Spain.
Master Bruce.
BOSS BIGGIS: Hurry up with that gravy!
If those fools let that prisoner escape, I'll eat them alive.
A bat! A giant bat!
Horrible!
What are you babbling about?
What bat?
Right here.
There it is!
Batman!
(SCREAMS)
(GROANS)
(GROWLS m ANGER)
Shoot him!
(MACHINE GUN FIRING CONTINUES)
After him, you fools!
BOSS BIGGIS: After him!
$1,000 to the man who bags that bat.
(ALL GASP)
There he is!
BOSS BIGGIS: Split up and fan out.
Huh? (CRIES OUT)
(THUDDING)
Huh?
Kill the lights!
We'll find out if this bat can see in the dark.
(CLICKING SWITCHES)
Look out! (GRUNTS)
I think he went this way.
GUARD 1: Pete, where are... (GROANING)
GUARD 2: Help!
Help! (GROANS)
Hodges, Kurt, Howard! Are you okay?
BATMAN: Not exactly.
Stop him!
No! Leave me alone!

Stop. We'll be killed.

When you taste the prison food, you'll wish I had.
RILEY: It's no palace,
but you're welcome to stay at our place until you get back on your feet.
Thanks, Riley. Maybe this time, we can find some work that pays.
(ALL LAUGHING)
You know, pal, it'll be tight, but you're welcome too.
Thanks, but I...
ALFRED: Are we ready, Master Bruce?
BOTH: Master Bruce?
Bruce Wayne. WayneTech Enterprises.
If you'd like a job, I can probably help.
Hit me, Riley.
Hit you? Why?
Maybe I'll lose my memory and wake up a millionaire too.
